BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix

Mura Masa has graced Pete Tong and the rest of BBC Radio 1 with his debut Essential Mix. It is a great honor to be called upon for the legendary two-hour radio slot that has hosted some of the greatest electronic acts from Daft Punk to Justice to Nero and everywhere in between. Mura Masa has used his time on the essential mix to playout artists such as Jamie XX, Four Tet, Flying Lotus, Vince Staples, Migos and many more, to create an incredibly experimental debut.

Mura Masa has been unloading content on a consistent basis and now we’re in crunch time with only four days remaining until the unveiling of his album.

July 14th is the release date for his self-titled album. Until then, he has left you plenty of content to stay occupied. Enjoy!

It's officially been 20 years since Daft Punk make their Essential Mix debut with Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1. The iconic French electronic duo had just released their first album, Homework, only a few months prior to this mix.

This LP pretty much launched them into the spotlight with tracks like "Da Funk", "Around The World" and "Burnin". The rest was history. Daft Punk's introductory Essential Mix features tracks like "Funk Phenomena" from Armand Van Helden, songs of their own like "Teacher" and "Oh Yeah", and they even slipped in Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have A Dream" speech. Stream the two-hour mix below in celebration of it now being two decades since their Essential Mix debut! Enjoy!

It's been an exciting year for Tchami who, after releasing his Afterlife EP at the tail-end of 2015, boarded the Pardon My French U.S. tour alongside DJ Snake and others, in addition to releasing multiple singles -- "Siaw" and "Prophecy" with Malaa. It's also been full steam ahead for his CONFESSION imprint which has bred a handful of talented up-and-comers such as Atica and Angelz.

The DJ, producer and label head now marks a new milestone in his career with his BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix debut. The coveted two-hour slot, hosted every Saturday by Pete Tong, is known for solely premiering the best acts in dance and electronic music. Previous artists to earn their slot on the show include Skrillex, Porter Robinson and DJ Snake.

Tchami's mix taps into groovy house jams like Dombresky's "Utopia" and Shift K3Y's "Jumpstart" collaboration with DJ Zinc. Whether you're into deep house, future house or anything that brings to the dance floor, Tchami has you covered. Stream his Essential Mix debut below and enjoy!
